FORMER England manager Sven-Goran Eriksson has been invited to watch the Three Lions in action at Wembley this month.
Eriksson, who took charge of the national team between 2001 and 2006, revealed he had been diagnosed with terminal pancreatic cancer earlier this year.
The 76-year-old admitted he had "at best a year" to live.
Fans and players rallied around to support Eriksson following his diagnosis.

"A lot of the things he did with us, for example from a personal level I was a centre-back that had played in midfield and he had me moving into midfield to mark or moving into midfield with the ball, tactical things that we see now, he was doing then.
"Very flexible in his formations. Great man manager and just a really good human being who loved his life and lived life to the full.
"So I have very fond memories of him and I know all of the players that played for him have fond memories of him."
